THE SNEEZE

They walked in tandem,
each of the ninety-two students
filing into the already crowded
auditorium, with rich maroon gowns
flowing, and the traditional caps, they
looked almost as grown up as they felt.

Dads swallowed hard behind broad smiles,
and Moms freely brushed away tears.

This class would not pray during the
commencements----not by choice, but
because of a recent court ruling prohibiting it.

The principal and several students were
careful to stay within the guidelines
allowed by the ruling.

They gave inspirational and challenging
speeches, but no one mentioned divine
guidance and no one asked for blessings
on the graduates or their families.

The speeches were nice, but they were routine
.....until the final speech received a standing ovation.

A solitary student walked proudly
to the microphone. He stood still and
silent for just a moment, and then,
it happened.
All 92 students, every single one of them,
suddenly SNEEZED!!!!

The student on stage simply looked at
the audience and said,
"GOD BLESS YOU,
each and every one of you!"
And he walked off stage...

The audience exploded into applause.
The graduating class found
a unique way to invoke God's blessing
on their future
with or without
the court's approval.

Isn't this a wonderful story?
In God We Trust, United We SHOULD Stand.

This is a true story; happened at the Universityof Maryland.

This came in an e-mail

The reason I posted it

is because I don't believe

ANY COURT should be

allowed this kind of

C O N T R O L

over people!

Isn't that what FREEDOM

is all ABOUT?
